Softmouse

 

3D

 

allows

 

to

 

change

 

the

 

X,Y

 

movement

 

resolution

 

expressed

 

in

 

Counts

 

Per

 

Inch,

 

or

 

CPI.

 

With

 

a

 

large

 

CPI

 

a

 

small

 

mouse

 

movement

 

translates

 

into

 

a

 

large

 

cursor

 

displacement

 

on

 

the

 

screen.

  

The

 

CPI

 

of

 

Softmouse

 

can

 

be

 

changed

 

to

 

400,

 

800,

 

1200

 

and

 

1600

 

CPI.

 

The

 

factory

 

default

 

is

 

1600

 

CPI.

  

To

 

change

 

the

 

CPI:

 

1.

 

Unplug

 

the

 

mouse

 

momentarily

 

from

 

the

 

computer.

  

2.

 

Press

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

key

 

combinations

 

depicted

 

below.

 

3.

 

While

 

keeping

 

the

 

keys

 

pressed

 

plug

 

the

 

mouse

 

again

 

in

 

the

 

USB

 

port

 

of

 

the

 

computer.

 

The

 

key

 

combination

 

is

 

the

 

right

 

white

 

button

 

plus

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

side

 

buttons

 

as

 

indicated

 

in

 

the

 

diagram

 

below.

 

The

 

new

 

CPI

 

will

 

be

 

memorized

 

by

 

Softmouse

 

and

 

will

 

remain

 

in

 

effect

 

until

 

you

 

change

 

it

 

again,

 

even

 

if

 

you

 

disconnect

 

the

 

mouse

 

from

 

the

 

computer.

  

Plug

 

the

 

mouse

 

pressing

 

the

 

key

 

combinations

 

above

 

to

 

change

 

the

 

mouse

 

resolution

  

Note

 

that

 

cursor

 

displacement

 

is

 

also

 

affected

 

by

 

the

 

scaling

 

factor

 

applied

 

by

 

your

 

application

 

software.

 

If

 

you

 

find

 

that

 

your

 

software

 

can’t

 

adjust

 

to

 

an

 

adequate

 

cursor

 

displacement

 

you

 

may

 

need

 

to

 

reduce

 

the

 

CPI

 

of

 

the

 

mouse

 

with

 

the

 

method

 

above.

NOTE:

  

YOU

 

MAY

 

NOT

model

 

of

 

Softmouse

 

is

 

already

 

supported.

 

If

 

you

 

are

 

running

 

a

 

recent

 

version

 

of

 

the

 

software,

 

released

 

in

 

late
